One-hundred and seventy-seven (n = 177, response rate of 76%) professional cricketers completed the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12). Odd ratios (OR) for anxiety/depression symptoms were related to players' career, family and education. Prevalence of symptoms of anxiety/depression was 59% (n = 104/177). Anxiety/depression symptoms increased when players were contracted for more than 2 years (OR: 5.0; 95% CI: 1.2-21.3; p = 0.028) and if they played their last offseason overseas (OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.3-9.6; p = 0.013). Anxiety/depression symptoms decreased by 70% when players made \"productive use\" of their time in the offseason (OR: 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-0.9; p = 0.036) and contracted for 2 years (OR: 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-1.0; p = 0.049). These findings can be incorporated into cricket mental health literacy programmes to improve awareness and understanding, and to encourage early help-seeking.","PeriodicalId":8561,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease","volume":"3 1","pages":"524-536"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78717669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a healthy control group, we performed microRNA (miRNA) profiling of urinary exosomes and compared it with a cell culture model of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs). Thereby, a large fraction of abundant urinary exosomal miRNAs could also be detected in exosomes derived from RPTECs, indicating them as a suitable model system for investigation of CKD. We subsequently analyzed exosomes from RPTECs in pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic states, mimicking some aspects of CKD. Following cytokine treatment, we observed a significant increase in exosome release and identified 30 dysregulated exosomal miRNAs, predominantly associated with the regulation of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic-related pathways. In addition to miRNAs, we also identified 16 dysregulated exosomal mitochondrial RNAs, highlighting a pivotal role of mitochondria in sensing renal inflammation. Inhibitors of exosome biogenesis and release significantly altered the abundance of selected candidate miRNAs and mitochondrial RNAs, thus suggesting distinct sorting mechanisms of different non-coding RNA (ncRNA) species into exosomes. Hence, these two exosomal ncRNA species might be employed as potential indicators for predicting the pathogenesis of CKD and also might enable effective monitoring of the efficacy of CKD treatment.","PeriodicalId":8561,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease","volume":"4 1","pages":"794-813"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9136061/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78724527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The virus can cause acute febrile illness and can also induce unwanted teratogenic effect if it infects a pregnant subject. The outbreak of Zika virus infection is an important public health problem. Now it affects several countries around the world including those countries in tropical and non-tropical areas. The worldwide expansion of disease becomes a big health issue. In tropical area, the disease already exists and continuously expands[1]. The Zika virus infection is considered an acute denguelike illness. The disease might have the similar clinical presentations to dengue, but it can have unwanted clinical complications such as neurological disorder and teratogenic effect. The disease is widely distributed in several areas of the world at present and there is a need for disease control and management. To manage the case, early case detection and management is the basic principle. In preventive medicine, prevention of mosquito bite and safe sexual practice is generally recommended. At present, there is still no specific anitviral drug or vaccine against Zika virus for disease treatment or prophylaxis. In epidemiology, a close disease monitoring is required. The data from disease surveillance can be useful in public health and the surveillance is generally recommended for any countries. Implementation of a good surveillance system is the basic requirement. Nevertheless, how to make use of the derived surveillance data is the topic that should be discussed. At present, surveillance of Zika virus infection is done in many countries around the world but the further use of the collected data is extremely limited. There is still no specific report assessing the expansion rate of disease in affected county.
